Lodi Lake cleanup, Calaveras River walk Saturday

The second annual Lodi Lake Earth Day Cleanup is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the park. Registration begins at 9 a.m.

Sponsored by the city of Lodi and the city's Starbucks stores, the event is designed to keep trash out of area waterways and clean up the lake area before the busy summer season.

Participants should wear work clothes and gloves, closed-toed shoes, and bring a reusable water bottle and their own bucket for trash collection. They will also need to sign a waiver of liability.

For more information, contact Erika Geyer at the Starbucks at 224 N. Ham Lane at (209) 368-4579, Staci Huck at the Starbucks at 2431 W. Kettleman Lane at (209) 366-0457 or Kathy Grant of the city of Lodi, the watershed education coordinator, at (209) 327-2063.

And in Stockton on Saturday, the Friends of the Lower Calaveras River will host the latest in a series of "river walks." Beverly Clark will lead the walk and discuss the history of the Calaveras. Meet at 10 a.m. on the balcony of the DeRosa University Center at the University of the Pacific.
